. tion.

This invention relates to that class of medicinal products designed for the treatment of corns; and it comprises a novel composition of matter, by the use of which the infirmities of the class referred to may be readily and effectually relieved.

In the production of my said new composition of matter I take of ivy-leaves two pounds, cherry-stems one-quarter of a pound, and pine buds one-eighth of a pound, and place the same in one gallon of vinegar. \Vhen the ivy-leaves, cherry-stems, and pine-buds have been Well soaked in vinegar for about twentyfour hours, the preparation is ready for use. It may be most conveniently employed for curative purposes by applying one or more of the ivy-leaves, saturated with the liquid or compound resulting from the soaking of the ivy-leaves, cherry-stems, and pine-buds in vinegar, as aforesaid, to the corn, making a new application night and morning until relief is effected.

The proportions hereinbefore stated may be varied Without departing from my invention, and the soaking of the ivy-leaves, cherrystems, and pine-buds in vinegar may take place at any suitable temperaturethat is to say, at any temperature which Will not materially change the character of the ingredients either separately or in their combination with each other.

That I claim as my invention is A medicinal compound for corns, resulting from the soaking of ivy-leaves, cherry-stems, and pine-buds in vinegar, substantially as herein set forth.
